Christian Freedom International

"CFI...specialize in helping fellow believers in the worst places in the world -- from war-torn Sudan to the repressive dictatorship of Burma. James Jacobson, a former Reagan administration official who is CFI's president, is targeted for death by the Burmese and Sudanese governments, according to local Christian leaders."
--The Wall Street Journal

"Thankfully, there are relief organizations that tend to the broken souls and bodies...Christian Freedom International, an American-based relief organization, is one such outfit. 'Some people smuggle drugs,' says CFI Director Jim Jacobson. 'We smuggle Bibles.' And a great deal more. Their backpack medic teams to the front line are in the unenviable position of mopping up the ravages of war."
--The Asian Wall Street Journal

"...CFI head Jim Jacobson could take pride in his organization's work there. His clinic served children suffering from potentially deadly diarrhea, adults with typhoid and anyone who stepped on a land mine...a strong faith gives CFI a charitable zeal and flexibility that government agencies and other private groups lack."
--Investor's Business Daily

"...And from the Jim Jacobsons and Christian Freedom Internationals who believe that no place in the world is truly godforsaken and are willing to take enormous risks to prove it by delivering the Good News to places that haven't had any in a long time."
--The Washington Times

"...a shared faith gives CFI an important connection that government and agencies and other private groups lack. Jacobson works through local pastors to arrange visits, bring aid, and offer spiritual support...CFI also sells Karen handcrafts to help provide refugees with a means of support."
--The American Spectator

"The Karen's only hope seems to lie in groups like CFI, which are helping oppressed peoples survive until the so far elusive political solution is found."
